ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
My panoramic sunroof has a defect , my sunroof stopped working only a few months after having my car , I’ve Spoke with many other people with the same car and it’s common. I had a warranty on my car but they wouldn’t cover the cables for the setup to the roof , and it’s $10,000 at Toyota to get it fixed and I’m having transmission problems . I keep my maintenance up to date on my car , I’ve also done my research and transmission failure is also common on this vehicle ! My car is barely over 100,000 miles . I’m very disappointed in Toyota and I won’t be purchasing another ! Can honestly say this is the worse car I’ve had !

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The lock/unlocking of the car doors no longer functions. When pressing unlock on the key or door, the doors do not unlock. When pressing lock on the key or door, the doors do not lock. The only way into the vehicle is using the physical key to unlock the door. The bigger issue is when driving, the door is not locked when the car is in motion, and the door can be opened if a child or person slightly pulls the handle. The components have not been inspected and there have been no warning lights.

ENGINE
2020 Toyota Camry XSE, VIN [XXX], 2.5L 4-cylinder A25A-FKS engine, built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) during the production window covered by NHTSA Recall 20V-064 (Toyota campaign 20TA04), which addresses porosity in engine castings that can cause internal and external coolant leaks, engine overheating, and possible engine failure. Toyota’s VIN lookup returns this vehicle as not affected by the campaign, but the failure pattern matches the recall defect exactly. Timeline of failures and repair attempts: XXX, at approximately 92,832 miles, Camelback Toyota in Phoenix, AZ (RO XXX). Check engine light active. Diagnosed DTC P268115 (Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit, Short to Battery or Open). Battery also failed load test. Overheating symptom noted on the same repair order. Coolant bypass valve replacement recommended. Following that visit, water pump and thermostat were replaced at Berge Toyota (Mesa/Gilbert, AZ area). Camelback Toyota stated the vehicle was fixed. Vehicle overheated again the next day after being returned as repaired. XXX, at 93,034 miles, Camelback Toyota (RO XXX). Oil and filter change performed under good faith goodwill service, transmission fluid exchange completed. Overheating condition persisted. Vehicle continued to overheat through the summer and into September 2026. Current dealer now recommends head gasket replacement and states that if the head gasket does not resolve the overheating, the engine block is cracked and the engine will need replacement. Dealer describes the engine as “sucking air,” indicating combustion gases entering the cooling system and/or a compromised block-to-head seal. This failure sequence — persistent overheating, multiple failed repair attempts across two Toyota dealers, replacement of water pump, thermostat, and coolant bypass valve without resolution, and dealer conclusion pointing to a cracked engine block — matches the failure mode described in NHTSA Rec INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)

SEATS
Both the front driver and passenger seat backs in my 2026 Toyota Camry XSE hybrid with 7,500 miles exhibit a distinct, physical popping sensation, shifting, and structural looseness during normal driving conditions (such as acceleration, braking, and turning). The internal frame or components of both seat backs feel unstable, as though they are not fully locking into place. I took the vehicle to the authorized dealer (Toyota of Plano) for inspection, but they declined to perform a repair, stating there is 'no repair at this time.' This unexpected shifting of the seat back while operating the vehicle is a safety distraction and raises concerns that the seat may not properly restrain occupants in the event of a sudden stop or collision."

STRUCTURE:BODY
The factory-applied paint (Toyota color code 070, Blizzard Pearl) is delaminating and peeling off both the driver-side and passenger-side A-pillars, exposing primer underneath. The clear coat and color coat are separating from the substrate in sheets. This is not impact damage or external wear — it is a failure of paint adhesion. Toyota has acknowledged this defect in Customer Support Program ZKG, which covers 2008–2017 Camry vehicles finished in 070 Blizzard Pearl and 040 Super White. My vehicle is a 2016 Camry in 070. The program provides coverage for 10 years from date of first use. My in-service date was December 2015, so coverage expired in December 2025 — shortly before the defect progressed enough to require repair. The vehicle has been serviced at Toyota dealerships since delivery, with 25 documented service visits beginning with the pre-delivery inspection in October 2015. I contacted the selling brand's local dealer and the Toyota Brand Engagement Center. Both confirmed the vehicle is outside the 10-year window and declined repair. I am paying out of pocket. I am filing so this defect is recorded. The peeling is progressive and will expose bare metal on the A-pillar, which is part of the vehicle's roof-crush and rollover protection structure. In a road-salt environment this creates a corrosion risk on a structural member. No crash, fire, or injury has occurred.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I received the warning "Power Steering Malfunction - Steering Power Low - Visit your Dealer". At this time the car pre-collition warning, power steering, lane-change-warning, all stopped working. I took the vehicle to the dealer, they asked that I pay $ 5,492.72 for repairs. Because the vehicle has 55,711 and it is considered out of Warranty. The sales manager said that it was my fault for not purchasing an extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle 3 weeks prior. The vehicle was purchased with 51,537 miles from Mark McLarty Toyota, located at 4336 Landers Rd. North Little Rock, AR 72117
